Matthew Flugence, the Jefferson Parish, Louisiana man charged with the heinous murder of 6-year-old Ahlittia North, allegedly told a detective that the girl seduced him into having sex with her before he stabbed her to death, reports NOLA.com.

“In his words, the little girl, she wanted to have sex with him,” Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office Detective Travis Eserman testified Wednesday during a preliminary examination.

The detective said Flugence told him he had sex with the girl on July 14, the day she was killed. “That’s when he snapped,” Eserman testified. Flugence stabbed her four times and watched her fall to the blanket writhing in pain, Eserman testified.

“He said he just watched her die,” Eserman testified, adding that Flugence carried on with his day. “He goes to a family birthday party,” the detective testified.
